Volunteers

We have some dedicated and fantastic parents who volunteer at our breakfast club every morning.

Breakfast club Volunteers arrive between 7.45am and 8.00am for set up and begin cooking ready for students at 8.20am.  Last breakfasts are given at 8.40am and clean up begins.

Breakfast club is open to primary and secondary students.

Volunteers are welcome and would need to register with Mrs Horn or Nurse Donna and have a current working with children's card.
